Traffic Tom — Play Free Online

Traffic Tom is a racing and driving game that runs straight in your browser. There is nothing to install and no account to make: open the page, wait for it to load and you are on the road. It sits in the racing corner of the Doodle Jump catalogue, which is mostly jumpers and runners, so it makes a change of pace when you want to steer something instead of bounce.

The title points to a game about weaving through traffic, and that is the kind of session to expect: short, reflex-driven attempts where you try to last a little longer or get a little further than the last one. We do not have reliable details on its level count, vehicles or any unlockables, so this page sticks to what the listing itself tells us rather than guessing at the rest.

What it shares with Doodle Jump is the pick-up-and-retry rhythm. A run is quick, a mistake ends it, and the pull is in beating your previous attempt rather than working through a long campaign.

How to play

The listed controls are the arrow keys or WASD to move and the mouse to aim and select. On a phone or tablet, tap and swipe instead. In a driving game the movement keys are what you will use during a run, while the mouse is mainly for menus and start screens.

Click inside the game window first so it receives keyboard input. If the arrow keys scroll the page instead of steering, clicking the game area once usually fixes it. On a touch screen, play in landscape if the game allows it, so your thumbs do not cover the road.

Tips

• Spend your first attempt learning how sharply the vehicle responds. Small, early corrections are safer than big last-second swerves.
• Look well ahead of your car rather than at it. Gaps in traffic are easier to read from a distance.
• If a run is going badly, restart straight away; short attempts teach you more than a long, scrappy one.
• Keyboard players should pick either the arrows or WASD and stay with it, so the muscle memory carries over between runs.
